Does anyone like vintage speakers?


I am surprised that there is a renewed interest in vintage electronics from the "golden age" of "HiFi". But I see little interest in period speakers. Without the speakers you really can't recreate the sound.

I still have a pair of 1985 JSE Model 1.0's that miraculously survived dozens of moves throughout shooling, and after, and still are in my bedroom. They certainly show the wear of all the moves.. even though I still have the original boxes and packing, but sound great! To date they have not needed to be reconed, the binding posts did need to be replaced, but I have no plans on selling them.

I guess by most people's criteria these aren't 'vintage' as the LOVE power.. currently they are fed by a Proceed HPA 2 and they could handle some more if I had it to give.
Funny, I was calling my JSE 1.0's vintage, then after responding to this thread, bought a near mint pair of JSE 1.8's.... So they are new to me, but 20 years old, and sound great. FWIW They are in far better shape than the pair I moved at least a dozen time, and survived college...
